Finally found the fault.......

NOT the ECU
NOT the ICV

........ a hole in the Air Inlet Pipe, sucking in lots of air and causing the ECU to throw out allsorts.

if you cant find a carb cleaner.... any solvent based cleaner will do.... just give it a good spray.....

you may as well clean all breather pipes, your throttle body etc too

best way of cleaning the airways is to strip the airflow meter down clean with carb cleaner and while the car is running spray carb cleaner into the inlet but apply revs at the same time and dont be put off by it cutting out

bet id of known it was a split in air pipe
